Description This is my attempt to write an Irish-style ballad
Lyrics If I Could Hold Her In My Arms

If I could hold her in my arms
In the bar of my choice
Then sip malt whisky
And sail upon her voice
The crac in the mirror
Becomes a background noise
As she and I together
Sing another song with all the bhoys
The Londonderry Air
As She Moved Through The Fair
She’s all I want to hear
She’s all I want to hear

If life could turn upon its head
And we were back in time
A young man and his fancy
And we were in our prime
Brass buttons shining
And the devil for a rhyme
She and I together
At the first and one last time
Scarborough Fair
Upon A Midnight Clear
She’s all I want to hear
She’s al I want to hear

If I could hold her in my arms
